In a power outage could this run my fridge and a small heater?

A small heater could use from 1300 to 1600 watts, a refrigerator, you would have to look up wattage for the brand you have. if I were buying l go for the 5600 watt generator the rv inverter generator runs quite and weigh is less than 90 lbs

It depends on the wattage of the fridge. My guess is it could but not for long. Hope this helps.

I doubt it as most electric space heaters draw too much wattage. Add up the wattage of each device and allow for the voltage drop caused by any long runs of extension cords. This generator can handle 3,500 watts on a continual basis. Most likely you could operate your television, the refrigerator and possibly one space heater. Check the wattages to be sure. Good luck.

The fridge has a safety solenoid valve that has to open to allow gas flow. It is actuated be electricity. You could defeat the valve but very dangerous and I am sure all warranties would be void. I used a cheap 12 volt car battery to actuate the valve at a remote cabin with no electricity. The only problem is you have to recharge the battery. I have two batteries.

it wouldn't start my Fridge,,the Surge time is too low..so am not using it..if that is a requirement for your system.,,this is NOT the convertor for you. look for one with a long surge time.,at least 5/7 seconds..this piece of crap is 1second...total waste of money. the guy with the video praising this, must have a hugh battery bank..to off set this problem.

I can't tell you if you need it or not. Ours quit working and we replace the circuit board first, and it still didn't work. So we replaced the heating element and the fridge works great now. The heating element might have been all we needed to start with. It's the cheaper part to start with, too.

Possibly; but you should check the power usage of the fridge. Some fridges have newer technology that uses less power. Just not enough information to say for certain. The fridge will not draw constant power but most when drawing power will suck up 10 or more amps not leaving much room for error. Also the DC power going to the inverter will need to be strong enough to get the whole 1500 watts with out burning up your wiring.

I have a small fridge (4.5CF) and I run it off one of these batteries plus a four 85 AH batteries. The batteries supply more than enough power and I believe one 125 AH battery would run the fridge alone. I run lights, fridge, TV off my system.

The issue comes down to what kind of startup load does a refrigerator compressor require. You aren't just starting the electronics, you are starting a motor. This type of device was not designed for that type of load. I would not try it for anything that requires that much initial current.

Depends on the total wattage draw. A fridge is typically 800-1200 and will peak when the compressor kicks on. Air conditioners will draw a lot of power when they kick on as well. I wouldn't expect to run both at the same time on a 2400 watt continuous and 3200 peak model.

The timer should work, just check the amp rating to make sure it can handle the amps of the fridge. It has 4 different settings with individual on and off times.

Refrigerator will run on either 120 V or propane. When running on propane it will switch to 120V when electricity is detected.

yes, the unit will provide power to an average 18 refridge for approximately 5 hrs..... You would need a 120v source of electricity to charge this unit during a power outage...If no 120v source of electricity if available, such as a gas generator, capable of outputting 120vAC power, then the power unit will operate until battery capacity is available. The unit would then have to be recharged once grid power is restored...

You could use a generator. Just make sure the generator is in a well ventilated area since it runs on gas.

Depends on the size of the house I suppose. It will not run our AC or our electric stove and a few other. Heater, refrigerator, computers, microwave & most lights are covered.

Not required, even if hooked up to a generator instead of city/county power. My refrigerator and freezer work fine as well as some battery chargers I had running off the dirty output of a poorly regulating generator but the UPS kept flickering on and off so I had to unplug it.

Probably not, but I might be mistaken. This works as a power cut off and since most refrigerators/freezers only have one outlet, you probably can't control both via this unit.
